	Coryat's Crudities Encyclopedia Article @ GuideKing.com (Guide King) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Coryat's Crudities: Hastily gobled up in Five Moneth's Travels was a 1611 travel and gastronomic book published by Thomas Coryat of Odcombe, an English traveller and mild eccentric.
		Coryat undertook the 1,975-mile (3,175 km) walk to Venice and to write the subsequent account in order to impress the court of the Henry, Prince of Wales, where he was regarded as a buffoon and jester, rather than the wit and intellectual he considered himself.
		Upset by this, Coryat set himself the more ambitious task of documenting his walk to India, and after leaving in 1613, arrived in the northern city of Ajmer, ten months and 3,300 miles (5310km) later.

	The Wonder of Renaissance Bergamo and Lorenzo Lotto
		So that from many places of this city there is as sweet a prospect as any place in Italy doth yield," wrote Thomas Coryat, who visited Bergamo when he walked from England to Venice in 1608.
		The course of its history, too, was very different from Milan's, principally because from 1428 to 1797 Bergamo was part of the Venetian Republic — indeed, was the westernmost bastion of the Serenissima's mainland possessions, on the border with the territories ruled by the Dukes of Milan and later the Spanish and Austrian Habsburgs.
		(Coryat suffered the familiar problem of arriving in town at the height of the fair without a hotel reservation: "This city," he wrote, "yielded me the worst lodging for one night that I found in all my travels out of England.")

		In 1611, Thomas Coryat published 'Observations of Venice', a travel guide which referred to the city as 'the most glorious and heavenly view upon the water that ever any mortal eye beheld'.
		In 'Venice: A Second-hand City', we uncover the real Renaissance city, a place where not only people but furniture and clothes were hired by the day.
		We travel to the locations that Coryat wrote about, exploring the difference between the public face of the city and the reality that lay behind it.

	BookPage Between the Wines Review: September
		He discovers not only that the modern vision of its cultural high-mindedness is exaggerated -- tours frequently turned out to be drunken debauches -- but that its inspiration was a memoir by a voluble gentleman wannabe named Thomas Coryat.
		Coryat sailed, rode carts and went primarily by foot, but Moore, determined to "ponce" about Europe, purchases a purple velvet suit that Oscar Wilde might have raised an eyebrow at and a not-too-well-kept 1990 Rolls Royce for his own tour.
		The book careens between Moore's gentle poking at cultural flatulence and his almost grudging admiration for the still-impressive cathedrals and landscapes, neglected cemeteries and odd and often fascinating historical throwaways of Europe.

	Marvelous
		This recording (two CDs) is an imaginative but historically based reconstruction of the music performed at the feast of St. Roch in 1608, a production described by Thomas Coryat in Coryats Crudities (1611).
		Coryat's language is of interest: he was "for the time even rapt up with Saint Paul into the third heaven"; he was impressed with the treble violins, "especially one that I observed above the rest, that I never heard the like before".
		I alwaies thought that he was a Eunuch, which if he had beene, it had taken away some part of my admiration, because they do most commonly sing passing wel; but he was not, therefore it was much the more admirable.

		He then goes on to list the educational accomplishments of a number of contemporary writers, inviting his reader to "[c]ontrast the known facts about these writers' education with the absolute blank regarding Shakspere's, whose life's record is supposed to be so much better known to us than theirs" (280).
		In sharp contrast to his hyper-skepticism of the perfectly ordinary records of Shakespeare's acting career, Ogburn is eager to construct a stage career for Oxford, even in the absence of any documentary evidence.
		The closest thing to a record of Oxford acting is a letter by Gilbert Talbot, describing "a device presented by the Earl of Oxford, the Earl of Surrey, and the Lords Thomas and Windsor" at Court during Shrovetide 1579.

		We see also the parasol figured in the hands of the princess on the Hamilton vases in the British Museum.
		Although the use of the umbrella was thus early introduced into Italy, and had probably been continued there as a vestige of ancient Roman manners, yet so late as 1608, Thomas Coryat notices the invention in such terms as to indicate that it was not commonly known in his own country.
		These are made of leather, something answerable to the form of a little canopy, and hooped in the inside with divers little wooden hoopes, that extend the umbrella into a pretty large compasse.
